Frank Cottrell Boyce

n We had a wonderful live virtual visit from award winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce. Frank, an extremely popular author with the boys (and one of the masterminds behind the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics) wowed us with tales of his life, his writing and why he wrote this hilarious new book NOAH’S GOLD, based on some real-life experiences, during Lockdown. He read aloud from NOAH’S GOLD and answered individual questions from our boys with great humour, honesty and aplomb.

Lisa Thompson

n We were thrilled to have bestselling author, Lisa Thompson, visit all pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 for a live event, where she spoke about her latest book The Graveyard Riddle (published Jan 2021). Boys were excited to hear about the book which features a mysterious boy living in a deserted Plague House, discovered by a dog-walking girl. Lisa, who loves magic tricks, shared a breath-taking escapology trick (online) and explained how she was inspired to write the book.
